We established that mixed DdCBE microinjection is an efficient, heritable, and precise strategy for generating multiplex mtDNA mutant rats. This advancement significantly expands the utility of DdCBEs for mitochondrial disease modeling, providing a robust platform for exploring the pathogenic mechanisms of complex mtDNA mutations and developing ...

Genetic Diversity, Adaptation, Wild Introgression, and Coat Color Mutation of Golden Yak
Genetic diversity, adaptation, wild introgression, and coat color mutation of golden yak from two populations on the Qinghai‐Xizang Plateau. ABSTRACT The golden yak lives on the Qinghai‐Xizang Plateau with a golden coat and adapts to high altitudes and strong ultraviolet environment. The golden coat is a prominent phenotype in many domesticated species,

Genomic Structural Variations Provide Insights Into Litter Size and Teat Number Traits in Hu Sheep
Here, we conducted whole genome sequencing on 300 Hu sheep with an average depth of 16.51X. Two candidate genes associated with litter size and teat number traits were identified, namely MAST2 and AFDN. ABSTRACT Litter size and the teat number are important economic indicators in sheep production.

Heat Stress in Quail: Impacts on Health and Productivity, and Mitigation Strategies
Heat stress disrupts physiological homeostasis in quail, inducing oxidative stress, immune dysregulation, and metabolic imbalance, which impair growth, reproduction, product quality, and welfare. Integrating nutritional, environmental, and genetic–epigenetic strategies enhances thermotolerance, sustains productivity, and supports climate‐smart quail ...

Cytokine Pathways Driving Diverse Tissue Pathologies in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex systemic disorder characterized primarily by articular inflammation and destruction with associated functional loss and reduced quality of life. RA is also associated with extra‐articular disease, such as that of the lung, with potentially devastating clinical consequences. The critical importance of comorbidities,
